As soon as Alfie finished speaking, everyone’s gaze focused on Remus.
Pierce and Gerard frowned slightly but didn’t say much, because the three of them were indeed led to them by Bucky. They would never have encountered them without Bucky.
Bartholomew’s brow furrowed even deeper. He wanted to speak, but the words stopped in his mouth. It was a good opportunity to see Remus Clayton’s strength.
Hadden and the others looked at Remus with disdain.
Did Alfie just say that this guy could kill someone at the Divine Separation Stage?
What a joke!
Remus naturally didn’t refuse.
After a moment of thought, favonovel.com faced Hadden with clasped hands and said, “Fellow cultivators, my offer remains the same. I’ll give you three top-grade Energy Replenishing Pills. Let us leave, thank you…”
If it was possible to avoid conflict, it was best to do so. Preserving strength in the vast mountains was most crucial.
Pfft!
Seeing Remus’ serious demeanor, the cultivators standing to Hadden’s left and right burst into laughter. To them, it was as if a tiny ant on the ground was speaking formally. The more serious favonovel.com was, the funnier it seemed to them.
“Kid, this is not the way to show your gratitude. You should be kneeling on the ground to show gratitude!”
“Why don’t you kneel and beg us? Maybe then we’ll consider letting you go? Hahaha!”
Hadden stretched out his hand with a face full of disdain. “Alright, it’s better than nothing. We don’t want a big fight either. Give me the Energy Replenishing Pills, and we’ll let you go today.”
Seeing his attitude, Remus hesitated for less than a second before taking out three Energy Replenishing Pills and throwing them over.
Hadden caught the Energy Replenishing Pills, scoffing, “These are indeed top-grade. I didn’t expect someone at the late Golden Stage to have such pills, heh!”
Top-grade pills were distinguishable by their color, texture, and the energy they emitted, unlike ordinary pills.
Remus stated calmly, “You may go now.”
Hadden pocketed the Energy Replenishing Pills, taunting, “I said I’d let you go just now, but now I’ve changed my mind. So, I don’t plan on letting you go, hahaha! I’ll take these Energy Replenishing Pills, but I still want the Demonic Beast Inner Pill. If you don’t give it, you won’t be leaving today! Hahaha!”
The men by his side immediately burst into laughter, as if they had heard the world’s funniest punchline, their laughter echoing through the mountains.
“Hmph!” Alfie also gave a cold laugh.
She remarked, “You’re too naive to believe them. You lost three Energy Replenishing Pills for nothing, and you still can’t leave! Do you know who they are? They are the troublemakers of Longmoon Mountains, robbing and plundering everywhere! Now that you’ve lost the Energy Replenishing Pills, what will you do?!”
He refused to act, preferring to use Energy Replenishing Pills to buy his way out. Now that everything was gone, it served favonovel.com right.
Who told favonovel.com not to listen?
Remus remained calm, as if favonovel.com hadn’t heard her, and turned to Bartholomew. “It will be troublesome for me alone to deal with them. We should make a move together. How about we defeat them together?”
Without waiting for Bartholomew to answer, Alfie spoke again, “Why should we make a move? The trouble was caused by you. You should solve it. What does it have to do with us? We won’t make a move. You handle it yourself!”
Pierce and Gerard remained silent.
Bartholomew pondered for a moment and said, “We’ll wait for the right moment to act…”
Before favonovel.com could finish his words, Remus suddenly rushed out from the back of Bucky, his speed reaching its peak in an instant.
His spirit energy leaked out and transformed into a long sword.
Flashing a bright white, it cut through the air and slashing toward Hadden in an instant.
The scene unfolded in an instant, leaving Bartholomew and his companions frozen in shock.
Hadden was equally taken aback and had not anticipated the late Golden Stage cultivator before favonovel.com to make such a bold move.
Scrambling to defend, favonovel.com managed to muster his spirit energy in a barrier overhead.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
A crisp crack echoed across the field as Hadden’s defenses were effortlessly breached. Remus’ sword cut deep into Hadden’s arm, slicing through flesh to reveal the bone beneath.
“What?” The exclamation burst from Bartholomew and the others simultaneously, their disbelief palpable.
He breached Hadden’s defenses with a single strike suggesting a terrifying possibility.
Had Remus’ attack been slightly more forceful, Hadden could have been slain in that single move.
